About This Item
Small octavo (7 3/4 x 5 1/4 inches) Los Angeles, May, 1927. 96 page stapled promotional guidebook, illustrated with black and white halftone photos of sights and scenery in Southern California, and many interesting local ads. Original, wrappers, good condition (old bend to front cover, small residue of stuck paper on page 11, inked name on page 19, small tear to corner of last page, general age toning to covers - overall very readable and interesting).
The descriptive text covers, in part: Pomona, Orange County, Pasadena, Duarte, Glendale, Los Angeles, Riverside County, the Missions, San Fernando, the Valley, San Pedro, San Diego, San Bernardino County, and Death Valley.
In the center is a two page map "Lines of the Pacific Electric Railway in Southern California", with an ad for Mt. Lowe Tavern. There is a section for Southern Pacific Trips, and a "Route Map, with Mileage, from Los Angeles Half Way to San Francisco".
The front cover is an idealized illustration of Southern California orange trees, palm trees and a mission bell tower, with a photo of "The Magnificent Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles."
